Comedy has faced restrictions in the U.S., attributed to governmental sensitivity and litigious actions, but it appears to be witnessing a revival with Donald Trump's influence. The Late Show on CBS is set to be canceled after its next season, officially due to financial reasons, although the circumstances surrounding its cancellation raise suspicions. The timing coincides with Paramount's attempt to secure a merger with Skydance, appearing to link the show's cancellation to larger corporate maneuvers fueled by past legal conflicts involving Trump.
Stephen Colbert announced that CBS will end The Late Show next year, citing a money-driven decision. He expressed shared dismay with his audience about the cancellation.
CBS asserts the cancellation of The Late Show is purely financial. However, the timing raises suspicion, especially concerning elements related to the ongoing merger with Skydance.
Paramount's $8.4 billion merger attempt with Skydance comes after a lawsuit from Donald Trump. Critics suspect the settlement was linked to facilitating the merger.
Colbert commented on the situation, insinuating the settlement was not merely a financial decision but rather a 'big fat bribe'.
